neoLab® nitrile gloves LIOX®, antimicrobial gloves™, germicidal, size M

Mode of action:
The Nitrile ^LIOX® antimicrobial examination glove provides active protection for users in various healthcare facilities by rapidly killing microorganisms on the outside of the glove on contact.

- An active dye incorporated into the glove material on the outside converts conventional oxygen into so-called singlet oxygen _1O2 as soon as the glove material comes into contact with light and oxygen.

- The singlet oxygen attacks the cell membrane of gram-positive bacteria (including MRSA, VRE, etc.), which leads to the death of the affected microorganisms.

- The effectiveness is up to 99.999% of the affected microorganisms (germs, bacteria).

Features:
- The skin compatibility of the glove material has been confirmed by numerous tests: Biocompatibility has been tested and confirmed that the gloves are non-sensitizing, non-irritating, non-toxic (oral) and non-cytotoxic.

- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
In addition to its suitability as a medical examination glove, the Nitrile LIOX® with AMG technology is certified as Category III / Type C Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Advantages:
- In addition to providing the passive barrier of an examination glove between user and patient, the Nitrile LIOX® also provides active protection for both.

- Singlet oxygen is a non-selective system that can act quickly against numerous microbial components. Unlike antibiotics, for example, there is no protection mechanism in the bacteria to protect them from singlet oxygen.

- Since singlet oxygen does not deplete, its mode of action is always present. Secondly, it is volatile and therefore no permanent biocides are released.
